Earlier in the week I was killing time at the La Grange Road station waiting for my wife to pick me up when an outbound Metra train stopped to discharge passengers. I was on the inbound platform watching the train when suddenly I noticed on the name board over the doors of car 712 the word "BURLINGTON" showing in that distinctive lettering. I realize it was a trick of the light, but I thought it was pretty cool nonetheless!
Having moved to IL from the East in the early '90s I wasn't around to see pre-BN locomotives or passenger cars, unless they were in a museum or a book, so for me it was a treat.
